A healthy diet is key to a healthy life.
Food systems are a complex web of activities involving the production, processing, transport, and consumption of food. These food systems can impact individual and the community's health.
Want to eat healthier? Try cooking at home.
Oregon State University has a great resource when it comes to recipes. They have a repository of recipes by meal, 30 minutes or less, 5 ingredients or less, cooking for one or two, kid approved and special diets.

Nutrition Oregon Campaign
We now know that the risk for most chronic diseases, like obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, starts before birth and in the first years of life. This risk can be passed down from parent to child. Poor nutrition – before pregnancy, during pregnancy and breast feeding and during the first two years of life – affects how organs in the body develop. This can increase the risk for chronic disease as an adult.
